Synopsis

Drawing on artist Imran Perretta’s own experience as a young man of Bangladeshi heritage THE DESTRUCTORS explores personal and collective experiences of marginalisation and oppression.
Shot in Tower Hamlets, East London, it reconsiders the figure of alienated male youth, exploring the complexities of ‘coming of age’ for young Muslim men living in the UK.
